    Nice and central in Thurso

    Breakfast started at 8am or a bit later, as they don't really focus on those lodging there. Also you were expected to go outside and in the front restaraunt door rather than use an internal fire door largely as that needed some screws fixed on the door catch.

    This is more of an 'Inn' in the tradition of a place to eat that happens to have a few rooms you can stay at. The locations is excellent, central and opposite the Co-op if you need any supplies. While it lacks dedicated parking, there is a modest council car park outside that has no time-restrictions (unlike the larger Co-op park). The meals were good and service similar. The rooms were comfortable and fairly modern (by standards of other Thurso hotels) and the WiFi was reliable with a few access points around the building, although it seemed a bit slow (but that could be a deliberate per-user limiting for fair use, etc).

    I felt that the entrance to the hotel was like the trademans entrance, round the back. The stairs carpet could do with a good clean and the whole stairs area brightening up. Also 2 fights of stairs to our room no lift.

    It was handy for the town. The room was great nice and big and well maintained. Very good shower on the whole a nice place to stay.

    I personally don’t really like carpet in the room as it makes it look a bit tired.

    The stairs were a lot to navigate for someone with mobility issues.

    Incredible room. Large, nice windows. Clean. Staff were helpful, kind, and went the extra mile to help with luggage and to get us places to sit in the restaurant for meals.

    Some initial problems with door locks not functioning well and made us concerned about being able to lock and get back into the room. Also instead of normal size towels we were left with 3 hand towels to use.

    Location. Meal was nice in the restaurant and young man was helpful when we couldn’t get into the room allocate to us.

    Shower was a bit tricky due to it being fully fixed in but was working fine.

    We had a fab stay, the room was huge and we were treated to a super king size bed! We had food in the restaurant which was lovely. They did have a breakfast menu as well.

    I stayed on a Saturday night. The music was very loud. It did stop at 2300 but for some reason started again around 2345 for another 15 minutes or so.

    Nice comfortable and clean. Staff very helpful. Food on premises very good.

    The toilet was not clean on arrival, there were some broken fixtures, like the glass on the table wasn’t attached…I’m not sure if this was meant to be or not. The kettle had water left in it. TV remote was temperamental

    Great mattresses, comfortable stay. Food was very good. Complimentary toiletries and biscuits well received. Staff really friendly.
